I would realy love to see an eminent photographer raise hell against 'site developers' or any old construction companies for demolishing the aesthetic values of a scenery. That would be cool. They love to soue people for imaginary loss of business, etc. but they never look at it the other way round: Maybe their business is not 'addding value' to a site but rather bringing it down.
In which case they should be very, very ashamed and then, eventually, realize that they owe somethng to people they had hurt.
